@interolivary Logitech build quality was never a problem. The problem with Logitech, and most of the gaming brands, is their software which is utterly shit.
That Logitech F710 has never received a firmware update or even a driver update.
I’ve had some Logitech mice and keyboards is always the same story. They trend to work better without their software than with the “Logitech G suite” installed.
Same applies to Corsair, NZXT, Razer, Asus (Armory Crate) and many more.
I mean, the build quality isn’t a problem for terrestrial use where your life doesn’t depend on it. A 1% failure rate (I don’t know what it actually is, just pulling a number out of my ass) is not bad in those cases, but I’d be a bit nervous about it in a sub.
The fact of the matter is, gaming peripherals are probably close to the very best we have in human/machine interfaces. They’ve been studied to oblivion and back, for over 40 years.
Yeah, and it’s extra weird considering that the Logitech mouse software is pretty decent. I have a Logitech controller and it’s really solid hardware wise, but I never use it because the software sucks making it a pain to set it up in games. I just stick with a plain old Xbox controller instead.
@_haha_oh_wow_ For me is a DualShock 4 + DS4Windows. Gives me all the flexibility that I want (macros, LED configuration, rumble level personalization, sticks death zone calibration, Bluetooth poll rate, key binds ,and even jitter compensation for the touchpad).
As an extra I can create profiles for each controller, and games, so every one of them can have all those settings personalized. Also I can connect, by Bluetooth, up to 8 controllers at the same time.
No limits if they’re wired.

So, you’d also be nervous knowing all U.S. nuclear subs also use an XBox controller?
